CAD201 Introduction to Computer Aided Manufacturing: Solidworks CAM and Fusion360 CAM
This is an introductory course that demonstrates the integration of Computer-Aided- Design (CAD) and Computer-Aided-Manufacturing (CAM). It is a study of modern prototyping and machining methods, teaching the use of CAD/CAM software. This program converts 2D and 3D CAD drawing geometry directly into tool path information that is used to drive numerically controlled turning and milling machines. Emphasis on the conversion of a working drawing using computer aided design/computer aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) software and related input and output devices translating into machine codes. This is a beginning course in using CAD/CAM software, using a 3D printer, and a CNC machine. Students will learn to create and manipulate three dimensional technical drawings and learn how to process that drawing to machine code.
